I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scrooge' is the definition.
(cheapskate is a kind of scrooge)

'one of those from ray's' is the wordplay.
'one of those' becomes 'cheap' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'from' says to put letters next to each other.
'ray' becomes 'skate' (skate is a kind of ray).
'cheap'+'skate'='CHEAPSKATE'

'family is after going for a song from' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
